When he became a prisoner here in America, he had everything he needed. All the clothes, they could wear, all the food they could eat. Of course they farmed their own cafeteria. They did their own cooking, the Italians. They made their own bread...They had their own orchestra. And they farmed everything theirselves out of their own camp. -Beth Giordano |
